Zen is a live coding application for musical composition, sound design, and performance in real time, all within the browser. While it can be used like a standard live coding language, its most distinctive feature is the use of quantum computing algorithms for generative music.
Zen can be downloaded as a desktop app for Mac, Windows and Linux. See the releases page.
